We waited a little over 3 months. Until we got our pros, I was constantly F5-ing our photog's blog, likely adding thousands of hits to her site counter.
We waited 28 days.
I have to say thought we went through Bella Pictures which matches you with a photographer and our order which photo'syou want retouched (I have to say, I'm not impressed with their retouching and did most of our pictures myself... but the price was great)
WE waited about a month for the pro pics. However, there was very little retouching and I was VERY disappointed with the pictures overall. I've already posted about it a few times, so I won't rehash it here. But stay away from www.theweddingphotographer.com
It's hard to say because we had to go to the studio to see them, so it took a while to find a day that worked for us to go there since it's about an hour drive. The ones they showed us, that we got to choose album photos from, had not retouching, and the CD of the images they did give us also had no retouching. They said that if we want any of the images they do retouch we can only buy individual prints, but we don't have rights to the actual photo...I think that's crappy business considering we could have bought a nice little used car with the amount of money we've paid them up until this point.
We waited just over 2 months before the photographer posted some photos on her blog and then mailed out our CD of negatives.
It was a reasonable amount of time, but that didn't keep me from stalking her blog weekly following the wedding.
About a month-- I was surprised and delighted at how fast it was and I loved our pics.

Our photos were ready almost exactly 1 month after our wedding (meaning all our fully edited photos were in an online gallery for our family and friends to view, including a slideshow set to music). I think turn around time really depends on the time of year...if you get married at the start of peak wedding season, I'm sure it takes much longer.
We waited about 3 months, and a year later we still haven't chosen our photos yet (though we did start finally)! One bummer though, we realized that our photographer never took any pics of just me and my new hubby. No formals, and none where it is just the two of us, besides our first dance and those are sort of awkward. That was hugely disappointing, but on the day I was too "head in the clouds" to realize it!
Oh well....

Three weeks until they were all up online. It helped that we were married in May, before the huge wedding rush of the summer, but I was amazed with how quickly the turn around was. We got the actual print proofs about 2 weeks later.
The timing actually worked out PERFECTLY, because we got the link to the online gallery the day before my mother's major surgery. She was thrilled to be able to spend a few hours pre-op looking through all the pictures -- definitely helped to keep her mind off the fact that they were about to cut her open!
From our wedding date:
- about 3 weeks until they posted 50+ pics on their blog
- 2 months until we could see all the photos on their proofing website
.... and it's now been 4 months and we should be getting the discs of all original photos in the next few weeks!

It took about a month and we got all the proofs on online, and then sometime that week the disk of imaged showed up in the mail!
We only waited 2 weeks! That is because our photographer is a semi-professional so he didn't do much post-processing. Just printing proofs and organizing everything for us! He also made us DVD's with all the photos as well!
Ours took almost 6 weeks, but that included processing and editing 800+ pics, and then putting them into 2 albums and on a dvd. We were so impressed with our photogs, they were wonderful!
It took about 7 weeks. Our photographers had us over at their loft/studio, cracked open a bottle of bubbly, served us some yummy nibblies and premiered the photo slideshow of our wedding. They did such an amazing job - a good photographer(s) is well worth the investment. We watched it twice at their place and at the end of the night, they gave us a dvd containing the slideshow in HD, standard and ipod format and a dvd of our 950 proofs. We can't wait to get started on our album!
My photographer said 2 weeks and we got it in 2 weeks. I can't imagine waiting longer!
I got a dvd with all the high res images... so the monday after the wedding i picked them up. Editing took longer.... so if i think of it, i would of prefered having my photographer do all the work and wait the 3 months (thats if i had a different photog. i didnt like mine)

I was wondering what the average wait for all you bees out there was. Mine was I believe 3.5 months (of agony). What do you think is a normal wait time vs how long did you wait? I guess a normal wait time is around 2.5 months.
